 LIMITED WARRANTY
Digital Intelligence, Inc. (“DI”) warrants to the original end-user that the product (excluding
accessories) will be free from defects in materials and/or workmanship for a period of one (1)
year from the date of shipment. This limited warranty is non-transferable, and is issued only
to you, the first end user purchaser.
Exclusions
This warranty does not apply to: (i) DI software products; (ii) expendable components such
as power cables, FireWire, USB or UDMA cables; or (iii) third party products, hardware or
software, supplied with the warranted product. DI makes no warranty of any kind on such
products, which, if included, are provided “AS IS.” THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT
COVER, AND SHALL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID FOR, ABUSE, MIS-
USE, UNUSUALLY HEAVY USE, ACCIDENT, OR IMPROPER STORAGE, INSTALLATION,
APPLICATION OR MAINTENANCE.
Remedies
Your sole and exclusive remedy for a covered defect is repair or replacement of the defective
product, at DI’s sole option. Any replacement parts or products will be new or serviceably
used, comparable in function and performance to the original part or product. If DI is unable
to repair or replace a defective product, your alternate exclusive remedy shall be a refund of
the original purchase price less depreciation. The above is DI’s entire obligation to you under
this warranty. DI SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, WHETHER FOR A FAILURE OF
ITS LIMITED REMEDY OR OTHERWISE, BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, DI-
RECT, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES EVEN IF DI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event shall DI’s liability exceed the original
purchase price. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. DI reserves the
right to modify its warranty statement at any time, in its sole discretion. DI will be obligated
to honor any such warranty only upon DI’s receipt of payment in full for the product to be
warranted.
Obtaining Warranty Service
You must notify DI within the warranty period to receive service covered under this warranty.
Information on warranty service is available at DI’s Technical Support line (262) 782-3332.

zation number provided by the representative and proof of purchase.
Limitations
THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DI SPE-
CIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WAR-
RANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Any im-
plied warranty required by applicable law shall be limited in duration to the express warranty
term. Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state. Any
suit for breach of any warranty on your Product must be filed within one (1) year of the first
date the suit could have been brought. NO WAIVER, ALTERATION, ADDITION OR MODIFI-
CATION OF THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS SHALL BE VALID UNLESS MADE IN WRIT-
ING AND SIGNED BY AN OFFICER OF DI.
There are no serviceable parts inside the UltraBlock. Do not attempt to open or disassemble
the UltraBlock device due to an electrical shock hazard. Opening or disassembling the Ultra-
Block case (except at the request of DI Technical Support) will void the warranty.
